The Indian Premier League mega auction for the season 2018 is on at Bengalure and it will be fascinating to see how each of the teams finally shape up. We here at Cricketnext will tell you what is happening with your favourite teams as the franchise owners slug it out with big bucks in their pocket to get the best team combination. Here is what Delhi Daredevils are up to

The prodigal son returns to Delhi as Glenn Maxwell has been bought by Delhi Daredevils for a whopping amount of Rs 9 Crores. Coach Ricky Ponting went all out for his compatriot and got his man for a big amount. KXIP chose not to use the Right to Match card.

Another player heads back to Delhi and it is none other than Gautam Gambhir. After helping KKR win two titles, he was let go by the franchise (during IPL retention) and they even chose not use the right to match card for him. Delhi acquire the servives of Gambhir for Rs 2.8 crore.

English batting superstar Jason Roy heads to Delhi Daredevils for 1.5 Cr. Recently, against Australia, Roy struck a record-breaking 180 as England chased down more than 300. It was only a surprise that there were no more takers for him in the auction. Economical buy for Delhi who could be the X-factor for Ponting's side.
